In order to revitalize the sluggish film industry, Korean cinemas have made extraordinary support for films that have invested more than 10 billion won.
After many discussions with the production company, "Mogadishu" and "Water Hole" were finally guaranteed to receive 50% of the production fee.
The first release of "Mogadishu" did not live up to the expectations of the public, frequently breaking box office records, and won the 2021 Korean film box office champion, becoming the hottest Korean film this summer.
Mogadishu
As the biggest actor in "Mogadishu", Zhao Yincheng is a character who will definitely be asked when the main creators are interviewed.
Below, Xiaobian will combine their interviews to reveal a real Zhao Yincheng for everyone.
Zhao Yincheng
01, Liu Chengguan: Zhao Yincheng is sincere, modest, full of human beauty
Once, director Liu Chengguan and Zhao Yincheng's agent were chatting together in the office and inadvertently talked about Zhao Yincheng playing nearby when he was a child.
Director Liu Chengguan was excited and proposed to contact Zhao Yincheng, but he did not expect that he would directly find him.
In the absence of a script, Zhao Yincheng happily agreed to star in "Mogadishu", which shows how sincere he wants to work with director Liu Chengguan.
Directed by Yoo Seung-wan
After filming began, Zhao Yincheng, who had always laughed at himself for not speaking well of English, opened his mouth, and the standard pronunciation immediately shocked director Liu Chengguan.
Zhao Yincheng not only has excellent acting skills, but also takes special care of his juniors.
When Gu Jiaohuan, who had been NG 28 times, felt very difficult, Zhao Yincheng did not have a little impatience, but went forward to comfort and encourage him.
Not only that, Zhao Yincheng also found director Liu Chengguan alone that night, said something good for Gu Jiaohuan, and left.
02, Gu Jiaohuan: Zhao Yincheng is humorous and funny, good at inspiring others
Off camera, Zhao Yincheng likes to joke with Gu Jiaohuan and tries to create an environment for him to stimulate his acting skills.
Gu Jiaohuan was finally able to interpret the role of Tae Joon-ki, thanks to the three predecessors of Cho Yin-sung, Heo Joon-ho, and Kim Yoon-seok for bringing him a lot of inspiration.

03, Xu Junhao: Zhao Yincheng is active, enthusiastic, moderate, and especially handsome when acting
The filming scene of the movie "Mogadishu" is perfect, and the enthusiasm and activity of the creators are extraordinary, as is Zhao Yincheng.
When Xu Junhao is quiet alone, Zhao Yincheng will call and invite him to gather together.

Most of the time, the whole cast will discuss the film in Zhao Yincheng's room, and sometimes in director Liu Chengguan's room.
During the break, although Zhao Yincheng liked to have a drink, he did not dare to indulge at all, because he still had to shoot in the future.
On the set, Zhao Yincheng was quite handsome when he devoted himself to filming, and even actors would be attracted to him.
Zhao Yincheng in "Mogadishu"
"Mogadishu" and "Water Hole" were released on the front and back feet, and many people could not help but worry about whether the relationship between Cho Yin-sung and Lee Kwang-so would be affected.
In fact, you don't have to worry.
According to Lee Kwang-so, although both have been busy digesting promotional activities recently, they often talk on the phone to share movies and schedules.
Lee Kwang-so went to the cinema twice to see "Mogadishu", and Cho In-sung also watched "Water Hole", and both felt that the movie starring the other was very good.

For Zhao Yincheng, "Mogadishu" can be released in such a severe period, which is already a happy thing.
Rather than being competitors, Mogadishu and Water holes are both tools to boost the film market.
With such an excellent character and a big picture view, it is no wonder that Zhao Yincheng has been debuting for 21 years and is still deeply loved by the public.
